This is especially prevalent when there is a small

I try to make sure I always check the current version against
something further down the page, but it's hard to remember to do in
all cases. Perhaps if it was easier (i.e., with a single click and
without any looking at the history) to see the diff for the edits done
by the most recent five users (sorting it by user rather than edit
would make it easier to avoid skipping single bad edits)? Maybe if
there was a regularized system of evaluating many edits at a time and
screening them for problematic content? Maybe we need to find ways to
get around seeing histories as collections of single edits and rather
as clusters of edits? I don't exactly know. I'm just speculating
wildly here and not proposing anything concrete.
This is possible with my greasemonkey script. I will really try to
release it properly. There's a screenshot here:

Would that help?
